Volkswagen Crafter dimensions

SY/SZ (2017-present)

Published exterior dimensions for all 6 Volkswagen Crafter panel van sizes, with the wheelbase, the load floor height and the unladen weight you start a conversion from. Every size below can be loaded into the free 3D planner.

The Crafter is the range that starts big. Its shortest body is 5,986 mm, a full metre longer than the smallest Ducato, and the six sizes are really three lengths in two roof heights running out to 7,391 mm, with 3,450 mm to 4,855 mm of floor. There is no small Crafter to compromise into, which makes it a strong first van for a full-time layout with a fixed bed, a shower and a garage, and an awkward one if it has to fit a domestic driveway. Every one of the six is modelled in both front- and rear-wheel drive, which is unusual here and moves the load floor between 570 mm and 670 mm.

The Volkswagen Crafter is the same vehicle as the MAN TGE. Same body, same dimensions, same weight; a different badge and grille.

Every Volkswagen Crafter version, side by side

6 sizes across 12 versions: one size can be sold in more than one drive layout, which changes the load floor height, the kerb weight and sometimes the overall height, with the manufacturer's published overall figures side by side. Each one is drawn and specified in full above, in both metric and imperial.

Lengths exclude mirrors. Kerb weight is approximate - see how these figures were sourced at the bottom of the page.

How to read these figures

Kerb weights are researched from published manufacturer data, read on 5 August 2026. Basis: 2.0 TDI 140 PS diesel, 3500 kg GVW, base trim (VW Startline / MAN LION XS).

Kerb weight (curb weight in North America) is the unladen mass in running order (all fluids, a 90% full fuel tank and a 75 kg driver), for a base-specification panel van at around 3.5 t gross. It is researched and approximate: a real van with options fitted will weigh more, and VanCAD lets you edit the figure on your own design.

Load length is the manufacturer's published floor length behind the bulkhead, measured at floor level in the bare van. Lining, battens and a false floor all take from it, and the figure says nothing about the height or width available above it.

One interior figure is published here, and it is the manufacturer's own: the load length at floor. Everything else about the inside of the van is deliberately absent. VanCAD's interior shapes come from traced reference models, so our own figures for load height, load width or the gap between the wheel arches would be wrong at the precision somebody cutting a bed frame needs, and a cited-and-wrong number is worse than none. Whether a given bed, shower or bike fits is a question the 3D tool answers by putting it in the van.

VanCAD models the mainstream panel van bodies and drive layouts for each van, not every factory option. A maker may also sell four-wheel-drive, chassis-cab or crew-van versions that are not listed here, so anything on this page about which layouts a van comes in describes the versions VanCAD offers rather than the maker's full range.
